The search and development of new drugs is one of the leading directions in pharmacology, due to the limited effectiveness of many drugs and the presence of a high risk of side effects. In particular, the study of compounds with local anesthetic activity is still relevant. Local anesthesia is used in many areas of medicine, thereby achieving the necessary level of anesthesia during various manipulations. However, actively used local anesthetics are far from ideal. For this reason, research is continuing to study the local anesthetic activity of various derivatives, where preclinical studies are required to assess their safety and effectiveness before a person receives the created drugs. This paper describes the main experimental models on laboratory animals used for testing compounds in order to identify local anesthetic effects during terminal, infiltration and conduction anesthesia.
